This is Ashleigh and Chris. Their wedding is at Legare Waring House in Charleston, SC. It’s a pretty amazing place to get married. Charleston is a very unique place that really can’t be matched to anywhere I have ever been. There’s something about the style and history that can’t be replicated(sorry Savannah). It was also named ‘America’s sexiest city’ in 2011. I would definitely agree.
Chris really intrigues me. He joined the military to follow his passion for music. There is an unwritten bond among us artists chasing our dreams. He’s serving his country while following his dream which is — amazing.
Ashleigh likes to drink coffee. I actually gave her all my Starbuck’s giftcards. If anybody wants to meet for coffee anytime soon it’s not on me! I was kinda hoping Ashleigh could help me get rid of my southern accent since she pretty much has a Bio Physics Molecular Proton degree in speech.
Really beautiful diamond! Wonder how many old lady purses Chris had to steal….
I have officially retired from putting my logo on every image I put on my blog. I think I’ve finally come to the conclusion that if someone likes a photo they can pretty much ask who took it. Meanwhile on the west coast, I’m sure a newbie photographer with no portfolio is excited by this.
I’m not sure what it is with this photo but it makes me think of Top Gun.
We ended up in a town called Dillon, South Carolina. I used to love that show ‘Friday Night Lights’ that was based in the fictional town of Dillon. Buddy Garrity is the best character ever. Clear eyes. Full hearts. Can’t lose!
I love shooting in old towns. There’s usually some cool spots you can find like the ‘coke’ signs. It’s sad though because these places are disappearing rather quickly. A lot of the places I have photographed in the past are now torn down or have been painted. I’m pretty sure when I’m 80 years old some photographer is going to be shooting engagements in old Walmart parking lots and I’m going to be busy complaining about it in the nursing home.
Chris has a ring on his left hand which has confused my brain during this whole editing process.
I laughed while we photographed this and just apologized to Chris for making him go through with it. People flip out over pics like this though. Kind of like how people flip out about babies on facebook. I don’t know, maybe babies are 2nd on the list behind ‘motivational posters’ on Facebook it seems these days. I’m pretty sure I just lost like 5 fans because they posted ‘motivational posters’ on facebook this morning.
I’m not sure if I should be thankful that 1/3 of the bulbs were burning or maybe it would have been better if they were all burnt out.
We tried to go to the top of the Sombrero Hat but they didn’t take debit cards. Who carries cash anymore? I’m pretty sure I could have convinced the lady to let us go to the top but I figured the photo opportunities up there would be limited.
I fulfilled one of my passions in life by taking a few engagement photos at South of the Border. I’m pretty sure it was around a year ago I made this is a goal in life. On this day I completed that goal. Making stuff happen! Yeah! My next goal for an engagement is a hot air balloon ride. Let’s make it happen people!
If you get a second go check out Jessa’s blog at heedthefeed.com. She’s a past bride of mine and also her twin sister is in the previous blog post. She started this blog a while ago and is winning contests, taking great photos, and making delicious recipes. She made all those cakes for Whitney at her wedding. I was pretty disappointed I didn’t get to try them all!
